Halafu it is all primitive stealing , just because they can. Yuck 🤮

The Ruto government is just too much. These guys wake up every single day just to conjure up more ways to cause pain to Kenyans. I know we are expected to keep government in check as opposition but it’s literally impossible to keep up with the breadth and depth of the capacity for evil these guys have. It doesn’t have to be like this bwana. When we tell you just kicking Ruto out solves 80% of our problems you best believe! Just like he did with Haiti and now Ebola, for the right amount, this one can sell us to the devil himself!

America will be first country to lock out Kenyans from going to America should we record even one single of ebola case. Yet you are here welcoming their sick patients. We are led by fools.

Madina Okot gets emotional listening to encouraging words from her former coach 🥹

[Staphey Wairimu @StapheyWairimu]

It’s a full circle moment for #TeamKenya as we watch Madina Okot become the 3rd Kenyan to step onto the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) and here’s why.👇

In 2020, NOC-K held its first ever Youth Camp during the holidays, in Lukenya and that’s the 1st time Madina had a chance to interact with #TeamKenya. Her journey hasn’t been linear. At her first high school, she was pushed toward volleyball, it didn’t quite click. A school transfer to Kaya Tiwi secondary changed things. That’s where she leaned fully into basketball and started to grow into herself and over the holidays, her skills grew in the Lukenya Camp.

Born in Mumias, her path to Lukenya came through NOC-K’s effort, working with KBF, to bring together young talent from across the country.

Since then, we’ve watched her evolve from 5x5 to 3x3 adapting, learning, rising and when Birmingham Commonwealth Games came, and Kenya had an opportunity to play 3X3, it was obvious that the team from the 2020 was to represent Kenya in its 1st 3x3 basketball team to Commonwealth Games.

Watching her join Kenya Ports Authority to play in the Kenya Basketball Federation League, to join the University of Missisipi and go on to the University of South Carolina was just the beginning.

And now, a young girl from that Lukenya camp stands at 6’6, playing in Atlanta, on one of the biggest stages in women’s basketball.

Proof that sometimes all it takes is the right exposure, the right people and the courage to stay the course.
